Berlin
Brandenburg Gate

Berlin



Germany's capital just gets better and better. A now vast city but with a small population of just over 3 million. And three superb opera houses. Excellent transport system and little in the way of traffic jams! The area around K'damm still offers outstanding shopping. The Brandenburg Gate, the stunning Reichstag, the Unter den Linden with its wide avenues, smart shops and proximity to Museum Island, and the vast cathedral. From its foundation as capital of the Hohenzollern dynasty in the 15th century, the city was virtually rebuilt after World War II. Three outstanding opera houses who between them are offering a choice of 94 productions and almost 500 performances of the highest standard. Magnificent museums including the Pergamon and, in particular, Daniel Libeskinds Jewish Museum. Many outstanding restaurants, make this a city you will wish to visit over and over.
